Dog, Sword-Wielding Teen Fend Off Lion

A Fairfield, California, teen grabbed a ninja sword and helped his dog fend off a mountain lion that ambushed them while they were playing. Marquel Dawson, 19, said he was playing with his pit bull/German shepherd mix in a nature area near his home on Wednesday when they were attacked by the mountain lion. Dawson ran back to his house to get a ninja sword from the garage while his dog fended off the beast. The mountain lion retreated. Animal control officials are investigating the incident. Amazingly no one was seriously injured.
